WTB: Small form factor PC for bartop cabinet
(1/4) > >>

I'm wanting a pc that will be used in my bartop cabinet from mameroom.  It needs to be small enough to fit into the space provided.  I can't give any exact measurements yet as I don't have it all together, but may be able to play it by eye.  Not looking for a super fancy computer, just enough to run most of what is in mame.

I've built a few bartops. I think you can squeeze a normal machine in there (no case of course) or a laptop.

Im worried about the heat from the laptop and I wasn't wanting to decease a pc if I didn't have, but I might consider it.  Thanks for the input

Just drop in some quiet fans, and you'll be fine. You'll need to get airflow in there regardless of which PC type you choose.

Do you mean pc fans like 80 or 120 mm fans?  If I did this how would I power them if using a laptop since they have molex connectors.
